Beach Chair Buying Guide: What Makes a Good Beach Chair?
What makes a great beach chair? Comfort, of course, but most importantly, you want a durable beach chair. Sometimes it’s tempting to opt for a cheap bargain buy that offers short-term savings. However, if a beach chair is cheaply-made, you’ll end up having to buy a new one next summer. Repeat that cycle a few times and you’re not saving at all. This is why it’s worth it to invest in a high-quality beach chair that will last you years of summer fun.

Since you’re going to be doing a lot of walking back and forth from the beach with your new chair, you want to make sure that your beach chair is easy to carry. This means the beach chair should be lightweight. The best beach chairs also collapse and have a built-in carrying mechanism, whether it’s backpack straps or a carrying handle. These are some of the most important features that a beach chair can have.

Rio Beach’s four-position folding chair is one of the more affordable beach chairs on the list. We’re big fans of this chair because it doesn’t break the bank and it’s still super sturdy and reliable.

If your idea of the perfect chair is more of a poolside lounger than a traditional beachside folding chair, check out these lounger chairs, which sit directly on the ground rather than on a frame. They measure 20.5 by 34.75 by 21 inches, so you can sit back and recline.
Each chair has a supported backrest and a sturdy steel frame. They weigh less than four pounds, so packing them up for the day is easy, too. Each chair folds down and has a shoulder strap for transportation. These fun floral chairs are sold in sets of two.
